One thing I always wondered: why inclined people couldn't buy the four locks and mechanically reverse engineer them? Could someone not disassemble the lock and see where all the tumblers fit and iterate on a solution until they get it?
I feel that the people that would exploit the 3D key files now floating around the Internet could achieve almost the same thing anyways.
I don't think any sufficiently logical person ever thought that a TSA lock was secure.
- sergers 11y agoyea you could just go shopping and buy the range the locks which you can see the lock key ID through the packaging. just purchase all variations... likely people did this in past. i never use luggage locks, i also keep my most valuable items in my carryon rather than my checked bags. the locks are useless. easily cut, easily opened using tools, TSA still had access, now other people have access by copying the TSA keys. if someone wanted to break into your luggage, they would have with or without the key. i have had hard shell luggage cracked open by just terrible handling, i once had a lock/zipper got ripped off when it snagged somewhere. i pack my luggage in a certain way and utilize tape in certain areas to know if someone was rummaging through it at the airport. there is no security/privacy for your luggage at the airport
